Difference Between Prophetic Medicine and Modern Medicine

 

Difference Between Prophetic Medicine and Modern Medicine

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was neither a physician nor did he claim any aptitude for curing diseases for himself. Rather, he advised sick individuals to consult a physician. The vast number of Ahadith on diseases and remedies, health and wellness, as well as medical questions, which have been systematized by early Muslim writers, became known as at-Tibb an-Nabawi, the Medicine of the Prophet (ﷺ) or the Prophet’s medicine.

There is a great difference between the medicine of the Prophet (ﷺ) and the medicine of ordinary physicians. This difference is greater than that between the medicine of physicians and the medicine of itinerant quacks and old women. There is also a huge difference between medicine discovered by revelation and that discovered by experience and guess work.

The underlying difference between modern medicine and Prophetic medicine is that modern medicine is based on scientific laboratory research, while Prophetic medicine is based on divinely inspired words of therapy of the Prophet (ﷺ). Prophet’s medicines are based on revelation or divine wisdom. They were bestowed by Allah to the Prophet (ﷺ). They are scientific and proverbial. They are not based on speculation or results of laboratory experiments. They are based on the niche of prophecy and perfection of human intellect, whereas medicine of the ordinary physicians is based on conjecture, suppositions and experimentation. They are also based on experience and hearsay knowledge.

Most of the Prophetic medicines are natural. They are safe. They are preventive and herbal in nature. They are inexpensive, affordable and easily obtainable. On the other hand many modern medicines are obtained through a series of synthetic reactions. They have strong side effects. They are also very expensive  and ordinary people cannot afford. Examples are drugs for chemotherapy, AIDS, psychosis, etc. It is true that the effects of modern medicines are fast, but at the same time they may also affect other vital body organs. In many cases they are contraindicated in a variety of circumstances. However, unlike modern medicine Prophetic medicine  mostly contains preventive aspects of health.

The statements of the best doctors depend upon temperament, time, place and custom, but these limitations do not limit their speech and knowledge. Likewise, the statements of Muhammad (ﷺ), who is the all-truthful, are not limited. Nevertheless, at times, the Prophet (ﷺ) depended on the wisdom of  his disciples in earthly matters. There are three modalities of Prophetic medicine; physical medicine, spiritual medicine, and combination of physical and spiritual medicines.

The Prophetic way of treatment directs individuals and societies how to live a physically, mentally, and morally upright life free from illness and pollution. The Islamic legal system, derived from the Qur’an and Sunnah {traditions of the Prophet (ﷺ)}, aims at creating a healthy environment that will have a positive impact on an individual’s physical, mental, and spiritual development.

Characteristics of Prophetic Medicine

  Characteristics of Prophetic Medicine Most of the Prophetic medicines (PM) are preventive and herbal in nature. They are connected to proper eating habits of nutritious and lawful foods. Amount of food to be taken daily and the time and frequency of eating is very important. It gives specific guidelines on how to preserve one’s health free from pollution and malnutrition, and protect it from damage, deterioration and destruction. A much quoted hadith regarding over-indulgence in eating is that one should never fill up one’s stomach with food. The proportion recommended was one-third for food, one-third for water and one-third left empty for air or breathing. This makes perfect sense in modern day society, where obesity has become a pandemic. Currently PM is becoming more and more popular together with complementary and alternative medicines in many Muslim countries including Bangladesh, India and Pakistan.

Global Scenario of Prophetic Medicine

  Global Scenario of Prophetic Medicine The subject of the Prophet’s medicine is vast and comprehensive, and it can only be comprehended by one who believes in the power of divine revelation. The Prophet’s original mission was not solely to contribute to medicine, pharmacy or health science. However, although the guidance of the Prophet (ﷺ) is not directly linked with the medicine he prescribed, humankind, as the main focal point of the revelation, cannot be ignored in the ultimate guidance, because man needs to remain well, free from sickness to fulfill his mission on earth. This is why although the Prophet’s arrival was not as a doctor or pharmacist he was inspired to make nearly 1000 statements on health & wellness, sickness & cure and diseases & treatment. And all his statements are found to be in full compliance with the principles of modern medical science. In fact where modern medicine failed Prophetic medicine proved very useful, because
